Hi John,
I am jumping in here and ask for something similar to what Sandrin is asking for, namely the option to have a user-defined order of tasks.
What I have in mind is an option that opens a pop-up window/second window where I could define a task list either by drag and drop or similar to the "add standards to run" option and where I can mix and match unknowns and calibration standards. The current function to recalibrate standards after x hours does not completely fulfill my needs because:
1) I would prefer to have control on when the new calibration will happen (between two physical samples) rather after a certain time interval.
2) More importantly, depending on the analytical problem i am investigating, sometimes I would like to recalibrate some elements at different intervals than others. Currently it is either all or none in my understanding. But let's say I want to do calcium in olivine, I may want to run the calcium calibration more often (let's say every 30 analysis) while I only want to re-calibrate the Mg, Fe, Si standards at the beginning and at the end the entire run. With the current setting, depending on what mineral I am looking at, running all standards in short intervals would otherwise add significant time to the run.
Such a function would really put the capability of PFE to correct for drift to a whole other level.
